Mother charged with murder after child dies from ingesting delta-8 THC gummies

[Captain Red Eye]

She deserves no sympathy.

It does look like she could be an inattentive or even a "bad mother". She lost a child though, for that reason I think she deserves some sympathy.

I'm glad the murder charge was changed too.

Also, if the number of gummies the kid ate was in excess of what some prohibition law "allowed" her to have, she may have lied to Police out of fear of punishment. She may not have realized her child was in grave danger or was going to die and reflexively lied, then felt she needed to stick with it out of fear of police and any drug law repercussions.

If that's the case, it's another example of how prohibition or the echos of prohibition skews things.

Really?
Your explanation is:-

There are people that have experienced anaphylaxis from cannabis and cannabis products. That's a life threatening situation. Some people can be extremely allergic to cannabis just like some people are extremely allergic to shellfish, peanuts, etc...

I have a slight reaction when trimming plants. I start itching all over which is one of the reasons I hate trimming weed.

And you can definitely overdose on THC especially when ingested. Take 1/2 oz of concentrates, make some brownies, eat them all. Tell us what happens.

"Cannabis allergy can cause symptoms similar to those of seasonal allergies, such as coughing, a runny nose, and itchy eyes. Skin reactions are also possible. In severe cases, a person may experience anaphylaxis, which is a medical emergency."

Ok, xtsho, you have asserted that a THC dose could be 'dangerous'. What is your authority for that conclusion or are you just making stuff up to pass the time?

My authority is facts. Reading studies conducted by individuals with PhD's. Articles from medical organizations. Actual real world cases that have been reported and documented. I'm not going to bother listing dozens of links to legitimate sites that support what I've stated based on SCIENCE. It's not worth my time.

What is your authority? Some stoners on the internet saying that cannabis can do no harm?

"Not worth my time". I think you said it all.
NIH: Epub 2022 Aug 10 "Risk of death due to cannabis toxicity is negligible."

Why do so many lack the critical thinking skills that would allow them to admit that THC can cause serious life threatening effects to some people? Instead your first instinct is to get defensive over a factual statement made by someone else. I could care less what your opinion is or what you think. I stated facts. Why do you have a problem with that?

Negligible doesn't mean much to the people that it effects and can have a severe reaction and can potentially die.

200 people die in the US each year due to allergic reactions. For the families involved it's not negligible.

It's like I'm interacting with children.

I wonder if the mother would have been charged with anything, if she had lots of money and a fancy house, with a liquor cabinet her kid had somehow managed to get into and died from overdosing on alcohol?

I bet the media would have portrayed it as "a tragic accident" and maybe the prosecutor never would have indicted her. I doubt she would have been charged with murder to get her to plea to "only 10 years".

Yet alcohol is a toxin, technically a poison and has killed lots of people.

This entire prosecution smells like it has overtones of "marijuana is bad and marijuana users are bad people...fuckin' druggie, she deserves to be punished ".

Nah - she’s a pos scum through & through whom happened to have cannabis @ - I bet that kid ate everything in site all the time, IF she didn’t directly feed it to him she knew it was an imminent risk… then she lied to cover her ass vs saving his, pure scum sadly too many parents are

This kid died of cardiovascular disease due 4 years of daily child abuse - she deserves at least 10 years in the clink imo - it was systematic daily abuse, how on earth do you get a 4 year old to 116#’s ???

PS: I agree cannabis is being wrongly scapegoated here as something primary to blame; and it’s BS - this is 100% scum & abusive parenting in my book - kid never stood a chance

We had this Mother of the year take off and go on the run after her child died from overdosing on her fentanyl that the child got ahold of. There are too many people having children when they can't even take care of themselves.

I have sympathy for the children. Not the irresponsible parent.

Yes, she could be a bad mother as far as being inattentive, but we don't know if she loved her child and vice versa or if she is deeply affected and mourning. I maintain it's a tragedy regardless.

Speaking of systemic abuse, if she serves 10 years in the clink, at least two things will happen. Her child
won't magically come back.

The other thing is some people will be forced to feed her and forced to pay people to staff a prison to house another nonviolent person etc. 10 years is a long time and will cost a shitload. Sometimes, putting people in jail can have unintended consequences and create add'l. victims. If a disinterested person doesn't want to fund her incarceration and refuses to, what will happen to that person?

Thanks for considering cannabis is a possible scapegoat. I think the fact the kid was overweight (unless his dad was Andre the Giant) also may have influenced her sentence. None of that proves malicious intent on her part though.

Also, worth considering when making a judgement, some well-meaning parents had their kids vaxxed and the kids suffered or died as a result of that. Should those parents get 10 years if their kid died? I mean the weed gummy mom was inattentive (apparently), but the parents that had kids suffer from a vax, took an active part in that. Who is more wrong?

You don't poison someone you love, daily for years, she's mourning her plight and that's about it imo.... I have young kids around her kids age, they are put first in my mind always, it's a given - if they were in any danger I'd sacrifice myself in an instant regardless of the threat presented, she actively lied numerous times when questioned to save her ass risking her kids in return, that alone tells you all you need to know....

nope, but she won't be able to ruin the life of her next one she'd inevitable have - this person is a selfish pig, everything about her actions tell us this...

You don't want to know what I think should be done to her, the movie Se7en comes to mind.....

cannabis is clearly being scapegoated, if I let my kid drink too much milk it could kill them, anything in enough excess can kill you, add a 116 lb 4 year old and crawling up the stairs could be the culprit....

I'd venture to guess even Andre wasn't 116lbs at 4 years old.... I wonder actually.....

Also, worth considering when making a judgement, some well-meaning parents had their kids vaxxed and the kids suffered or died as a result of that. Should those parents get 10 years if their kid died? I mean the weed gummy mom was inattentive (apparently), but the parents that had kids suffer from a vax, took an active part in that. Who is more wrong?

If they had their kid vaccinated daily for years then it would start to compare (fwiw I've never had a flu shot in my life, nor my wife or kids)... BUT I don't think you are appreciating how much this women was abusing their kid day in and day out over years..... Getting your 4 year old to 116#'s to me is equivalent to giving them opiates all day to calm them, both is poisoning the kid, routinely..... She could feel Opiates are good for kids, be well meaning, it's still the same exact level of wrong, how she felt is irrelevant if she's poisoning her kid who's incapable of making decisions at that age.....

You now seem to be scapegoating for her or at least trying to rationalize her behavior and plight....It may sound like I'm being insensitive to this "war on cannabis" victim but it's the opposite in fact, the kid is the victim and this pig of a human is creating a scenario where cannabis can be tarnished and scapegoated.

She's the problem 100% not a plant
